Shadow Realm Escape

⚡ Fortnite⭐ CombinedSeeking investmentPuzzle · Horror

The pitch

A narrative horror escape room built in UEFN. Four players are trapped in a haunted dimensional prison — solve environmental puzzles, piece together the story, and escape before the Shadow follows you out.

Codex previously shipped a non-horror escape room that hit 1.1M plays over 14 months. Shadow Realm is deeper, scarier, and replayable — with a branching narrative that delivers a different ending on your second run.

The $22,000 raise covers professional narrative writing, a horror SFX library license, and the expanded build team.
